Yes! A new attribute to prepare drinks with: a silicone mold for perfectly round ice cubes. Well, ice balls rather than cubes. This has been on our wish list for a long time and now we will really start using it too. And so step one of the cocktail preparation of the day starts several hours in advance by the making the ice balls.
Today’s recipe idea comes from Hendrick’s Gin, of which we found a nice picture on Pinterest. We start with the Summer Mule cocktail, but we will give it our own twist. This way we will get a variation on the Mule cocktail and the Mojito Royal. We will call it the Royal Summer Mule, even if that description is a bit too narrow as this delicious drink can of course just as well be served the rest of the year.
Cheers!

Would you like to add some more color to the glass? Then add some fresh raspberries.
